As interventional cardiologists, we are familiar with coronary artery bifurcation treatment. In other parts of the human body, the vascular tree develops similar bifurcation in the carotid, renal, aortoiliac and tibio-peroneal segments. Even with some differences depending on specific vascular wall composition, the atherosclerotic process affects all such bifurcations in a similar way.展开更多

Coronary intervention, especially the placement of stents further alters the hemodynamics and shear forces. These factors may account for the increased incidences of in-stent restenosis, stent thrombosis, side-branch （SB） restenosis, etc, that continue to plague bifurcation intervention.展开更多
